Year of the Dog - Pagan

Once bitten, yeah, and twice as shy now

There’s a dog that’s in my room all night

It sneaks in while I try and sleep in

When I wake its sent is left lingering

I know

How this will end before it’s been written

And this story has a

Start, a middle and a start, a middle and

I pre-empt the worst is yet to happen

And I know how this is bound to end

Twice bitten, now I’m not so shy, no

But I dare not to speak my mind

So I’ll create narratives in my head

'Cause I will not speak to you instead

(Dare not show emotion, need not make a sound)

(There are chinks in my armour, dare not let my guard down)

(Dare not cause a ripple, need not make you sick)

(A tiny splash in your ocean, dare not fucking sink)

(Nor swim, oh)

The dog barks, but it never cries

It just scratches on my door at night

The dog barks, but it never cries

It just scratches on my door at night

Will wash on over me

And I’m in my bead now lonely

A hot flush washes over me

'Cause you’re no longer here to fill me up

I know how this

How this will end before it’s been written

And this story has a

Start, a middle and a start, a middle and

I know how this

How this will end before it’s been written

And this story has a

Start, a middle and a start, a middle and

I pre-empt the worst is yet to happen

And I know how this is bound to end
